CONCERNS for high health care costs have transformed physicians to form a company that provides affordable health insurance to immigrants.
Filipino American Tom Rivada and Dr. John Chung, founder of United First Universal Group (United FUGI), held a seminar for immigrant communities at Topnotch, composed of Filipinos, Hispanics and Asians to recruit them to join in the company’s multi-level marketing, in which every time they recruit health card members, they earn a weekly check from the company.
This multi-level marketing is patterned after successful sales of Avon, Symmetry, herbal products and other global cosmetic industries that empowered the grassroots and energized many economies in Asia.
This marketing magic has been capturing thousands of Americans and immigrants in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago, Atlanta, and Texas. The company has started its marketing operations in New York and New Jersey for two months now.
Filipino Americans and other immigrants will have a chance to acquire affordable health insurance, at the same time earn income, as United FUGI, will hold a business seminar at the Philippine-Hispanic American Expo on May 27-28 at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison , NJ.
Aside from having their own health insurance, members who will join will have a chance to earn a weekly check if they can recruit other members, who in turn will recruit new members in a multi-level marketing to bring business to everyone.
Soaring health care cost has transformed 550 U.S. physicians as investors in United First Universal Group (United FUGI), a unique solution to extend cheaper health care to tens of thousands of people nationwide, including immigrants.
